XF 2.0 Passing a $user variable to the thread_view template

[AndyB]

In the thread_view template, is there a direct way for me to use the following variable:

{$user.trader_seller_count}

I have added the field trader_seller_count to the xf_user table and extended the entity.

Thank you.

Who is $user? The thread author?

Who is $user? The thread author?

Correct.

{$thread.User} should do it (though you may want to check that actually returns something, in case it's a guest created thread or a deleted user.

Works perfect. I tried {$thread.user.trader_seller_count} but forgot about the case. The variable User must be uppercase U.

Thank you, Chris.

In a template what is the proper syntax to add these two variables?

{$thread.User.trader_seller_count} + {$thread.User.trader_buyer_count}

 

[Chris D]

You probably want this so it formats it as a number (including the thousands separator if necessary)

{{ ($thread.User.trader_seller_count + $thread.User.trader_buyer_count)|number }}

Works perfect. Thank you once again.
